ROQ LA RUE Painter Marion Peck, who resides part-time in Seattle, is the epitome of the kitsch-surreal art that Roq La Rue has made its truck and trade.

The paintings are a magnificent mess: paint drips everywhere and little punk cartoon figures and Bambi-like deer all corrode under the assault of what looks like acid rain. 2316 Second Ave., 206-374-8977. 2 p.m.-6 p.m. Tues.-Sat., noon-4 p.m. Sun.
